¢ meeded blood to th FOUR MORE DENTAL CLINICS ARE URGED D. C. Association Would En- large School Facilities. Benefits Are Cited. Lengthening the span of human Hfe through longer life of teeth is the practical objective of a new cam- palgn of the District of Columbia Dental Assoclation initited by fits oral hyglens committes yesterday The committes asks the creation of four additional dental clinics in the public schools, where there are now two, and the doubling of the corps of dental inspectors and hyglienists, of which there are now eight. It is suggested that three of the new olinics be for white children and one for colored. The committee urges also that every school, as well as the clinics, should havo displayed posters such as are offered by the Washington Tuberculosis Assoclation in its health campalgn, showing the practical value of preventive dentistry and the dangerous effects of delay in treat- ment. The committee takes the ground that more clinlcs mean really less work for dentists, as dental in- spection is far less costly than treat- ment; also that proper care of the teeth saves both dental and doctor's bills and avoids discomforts in later life. The statement of the commit- tee continues Indorse Present Work. “We indorse and approve most heartily the dental hygiene work now done in the Washington public schools under the direction of Dr. William C. Fowler, District of Co- lumbla health officer, and Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, chief medical inspector of the schools. We tender them our continued support in their present work and belleve its results are so apparent that the scope of the work #hould be increased by adding to the dental clinics and their personnel. “We believe that a by-product of the school work of high value is the fnformation in dental hygiene that children carry into their own homes. ‘We would amplify this interest in care of teeth by direct contacts with adults through all agencies that link up with the schools or with child welfare. v ere are few phases of preventive medlcine which yleld such rich re- tuorns for such simple precautions as e of the teeth. Your teeth will etime, and will help prolong lifetime, ou have formed the fourfold habit of keeping them fed, exercised, clean and tested. ‘feeding’ the teeth is meant providing children with food that bullds strong, firm teeth, which means giving them each day plenty of good milk, leafy vegetables, raw frulits whole cereals or well-cooked meats. Teeth Need Exercise. “Your teeth need exercise, and this may be had by forming the habit of chewing hard or firm food to bring gums and to glve strength and firmness to the jaws. “Parents should keep children's teeth clean from the time of the arrival of the first teeth, by brushing with some effective brush and den- tifrice at least twice daily on all tooth and mouth surfaces. “In the matter of ‘testing,’ it is recommended that a child’s teeth be examined by a competent dentist at regular intervals—at least once in| six months The oral hygiene committee says it 15 not in sympathy with a ‘'scare- head” type of campalgn to frighten either adults or children into caring for their teeth by painting awful dangers that may follow their neg- lect. But they believe that it is due to parents to point out to them that heart, kidney and stomach diseases, and especlally arthritis, commonly called rheumatism, in fits many forms, are types of diseases directly caused by mouth infections.

Fleet’s $2,100,000 Pay Roll May Result in Higher Prices in Honolulu. Whether the battle fleet takes Hawall in the blg maneuvers or the land forces successtully repel the fleet makes little difterence to the Hawailans, for they know the fleet will eventually get in, and they are getting all set to take the fleet's money, according to information recelved at the Navy Department. But they are fair about it. If the fleet mem- bers deposit most of their pay ashore there it will be a fair battle, for the Hawalians are publicly marshaling their forces. “Let the Navy pay for your new home,” says one of the advertisements from a Hawalfan paper received at the department, and it predicts much in the vay of lucrative compensation for the owner class, but not so much for the salaried class, except in the way of bonuses, and then lets the latter down easy by reminding them that they will not have to pay so much income tax next year. Some enterprising person in the is- lands has figured out that the fleet members will collect $2,100,000 in pay while the ships are in port, and they are going out to get it, knowing that the eailor ashore likes to eat and pur- chases souvenirs. They make no secret of the fact that the appearance of the fleet over ‘the horizon will be a signal for a boost in prices. But that's not their fault—it's just the law of supply and demand. Says one of the advertise- ments: “Let the Navy help you buy your home. “How? This way. Next April when the fleet arrives there'll be some 2,000 officers that will want houses in Hono- lulu for their families. They'll be willing and glad to pay any reasonable rent Many of these families will come in advance of the fleet and stay all the time the fleet I3 in Pacific waters— probably over elx months. Profiteering Urged. “Some one is going to profit by this demand—why not you? What better opportunity could you ask for, to help make the first payments on your new home? The time to build, however, is now and not just before the rush next April. “Let our bullding department tell you how to go about it.” A clipping from the Honolulu Adver- tiser, in part, says Prices will be higher.
